My son has been in prison for several years and should be having his first parole hearing in a few months.
He wants to do his parole in his home state so that he can live at home.
he wants me to see if I can find a parole officer in our home state, but I don't have the faintest idea on how to go about it.
Can anyone give me some pointers?

Your son should speak to his caseworker about an Interstate Compact. There is a specific timeline for othe process, but its possible that he could parole to his home state as long as he'll be livng with family.
